ANOUK KRUITHOF – BECOMING BLUE

Posted on 2018-08-06

Kruithof’s series Becoming Blue comprises 21 portraits and three spatial stills. They are presented in different formats and reveal Kruithof’s highly exceptional approach to the topic of portrait photography.

During extended sessions, which Anouk Kruithof called one-to-one performances, she did not usually work behind the camera but in the rest of the room, frequently pressing the trigger by remote control. At the same time, she made constant but minor physical interventions to influence the person being portrayed, so that her photos capture the subjects gestures and facial expressions interaction to the unknown, irritation or stress. Reactions out of the blue. Blue is a colour we associate with infinity and meditative calm both in art historical as as in psychological meaning.

DEANNA & ED TEMPLETON – CONVERGENT PARALLEL

Posted on 2018-08-06

In science the convergent parallel design occurs when researchers collect two sets of data independently and then later combine them for cross reference and analysis. This title is perfect for the way Deanna and I work separately and independently although often in close proximity, sometimes even shoot the same events and people, but come up with different results. This exhibition represents the convergence of our parallel practices where we mix our work together on the walls in a semi-chaotic style for further analysis.

We thought combining hundreds of examples of our work, culled from our archives and our various projects over the years both seen and unseen, framed and unframed, fine and work prints would create this immersive and overwhelming environment that will attempt to match that electricity.

ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS

Posted on 2018-08-06

“In a short story, environmental portraits are the setting, the part of the tale that establishes mood and creates a backdrop for the narrative to begin.”
— Polly Gaillard, Arts Writer

The call for “Environmental Portraits” created a wide range of images entered; traditional, contemporary, young and old, ancient and modern, unique cultures presented from different perspectives.

I want to thank every photographer who put themselves and their work out there for this call. There were almost two thousand images submitted and it was my honor to become very familiar with each of them. As I slowly began to see a “show” come together – some images moving the narrative along in a unique way – I believe in the end the images chosen are a compelling group, collectively taking each of us on a personal journey of our own.
